Hey, I'll will be giving your article an assessment based on the GA-criteria. Some Dude From North Carolina^{wanna talk?} 14:26, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

Basic stuff and comments

• The lead seems perfect all the way until the last sentence. I suggest adding the year after "September 27."
• Cast section passes per MOS:TVCAST. Some Dude From North Carolina^{wanna talk?} 14:26, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
• First season articles usually don't have a "No. in season" column, as it's the same as the column before it titled "No. overall." To fix this, I suggest editing the episode table and removing both "|overall=" and "|EpisodeNumber2 =". Some Dude From North Carolina^{wanna talk?} 14:26, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
• Archive all archivable sources. Some Dude From North Carolina^{wanna talk?} 14:26, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

I'll be adding more suggestions later on. Some Dude From North Carolina^{wanna talk?} 14:26, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

Added the year after September 27, and archived and all available sources. In my experience first season articles always have both numbers. Hawaii Five-0 (2010 TV series, season 1), MacGyver (2016 TV series, season 1) are both good articles I have worked with promoting that have them (other examples: Superstore (season 1), Pretty Little Liars (season 1), Grey's Anatomy (season 1), Stranger Things (season 1) I could go on). The only time the first season doesn't have both numbers in my experience is where the first season is the only season (Me, Myself & I (TV series), Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists) or until a second season table can be added (Lego Masters (American TV series)).

• Well, thanks for letting me know. Some Dude From North Carolina^{wanna talk?} 02:38, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

• Episode description lengths are good enough and pass MOS:TVPLOT. Some Dude From North Carolina^{wanna talk?} 02:38, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
• Reference [72] (from TVLine) is archivable. Some Dude From North Carolina^{wanna talk?} 02:38, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
• The reference that follows "Both Amy Hill and Kang debuted in the seasons third episode" in the casting section should be replaced with a reliable source. Some Dude From North Carolina^{wanna talk?} 02:38, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
• In the reception section, "Deadline Hollywood" and "USA Today" should be in italics. Some Dude From North Carolina^{wanna talk?} 02:41, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
• I suggest changing "Rotten Tomatoes, a review aggregator website" to something similar to "On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes," so its easier for people to read and understand. Some Dude From North Carolina^{wanna talk?} 02:41, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

Everything above has been taken care of. TheDoctorWho (talk) 04:57, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

• In development, I suggest changing "a Category 4 hurricane, in Hawaii CBS" to "a Category 4 hurricane in Hawaii, CBS". Some Dude From North Carolina^{wanna talk?} 13:44, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
• As the hurricane information in the development section affected filming, I would move it all to "filming". Some Dude From North Carolina^{wanna talk?} 13:44, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
• In casting "Deadline Hollywood" should be in italics. Some Dude From North Carolina^{wanna talk?} 13:44, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
• To improve consistency in the "release and marketing" section, I suggest changing "EST" to "ET". Some Dude From North Carolina^{wanna talk?} 13:44, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
• Also in that section, I would change "airing on 20 episodes" to "airing for 20 episodes" or "airing 20 episodes". Some Dude From North Carolina^{wanna talk?} 13:44, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
• I suggest adding the season's Rotten Tomatoes critical consensus and Metacritic's "Season 1 Overview". Some Dude From North Carolina^{wanna talk?} 13:44, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

All done! TheDoctorWho (talk) 15:08, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

• I only have three more suggestions and this article should be good to go. Some Dude From North Carolina^{wanna talk?} 16:13, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

• Per MOS:CAPS, change references [68] and [78] so they're not in all caps.
• In the reception section, "Magnum P.I." should be in italics.
• I know this isn't common in most articles, but to be consistent, I suggest changing the section title "Release and marketing" to "Marketing and release".

Done, done, and done. TheDoctorWho (talk) 17:07, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
